Today and something the president himself highlighted at the Press Conference. Take a listen. I think a lot of his views are going to be shaped by his advisers, the people around him, which is why its important to Pay Attention to these confirmation hearhearings. This is a job of such magnitude you cant do it by yourself. You are enormously reliant on a team. How you put a Team Together to make sure that they are getting you the best information and they are teeing up the options from which you will ultimately make decisions. Thats probably the most useful advice, the most constructive advice ive been able to give him. Personnel is policy, in other words. Especially for a Chief Executive who for the first time in the history of this republic has zero experience in Public Service of any kind, not the government nor the military. With policy positions all over the map, even changing from one day to the next, its nearly impossible to predict just what
trump will do as president. The only
She should really be apologizing to me if you want to know the truth. Susan, i thought just as a guy watching this thing that megyn kelly nobody is not a competitor in this business. Everybody is doing their job trying to get ahead. That she won that exchange, that she made him look out of control, his temperament was totally out of whack and she seemed calm and tough doing her job. I completely agree. She acted like a Profession Noll asking an appropriate question but not enough to cost him the presidency along with a series of interactions. He lost women but he won white women by 10 Percentage Points and that was a surprise. What did you make of that . The blood thing, i didnt get it the fist time. Oh my god, this guy is gross. Yet it didnt seem to stop him. It created the outcome because it with us a good

Another seems to open. Enter, the New York Times Front Page Story of a secret plan by Trump Associates said to be backed by kremlin about the Armed Conflict with Russian Allied forces within its own borders. In other words, while the fbis investigating an alleged back channel during the election between russia and the Trump Campaign, there may be another previously undisclosed back channel between russia and known Trump Associates. But before we dive into the times report, a little context. Throughout the entire russia controversy, the president has repeatedly denied having any russian Business Ties. I own nothing in russia. I have no loans in russia. I dont have any deals in russia. Russia is fake news. Russia is fake news. But thats a relatively recent claim. In 2008, for instance, donald trump jr. Told an interviewer, russians make up a pretty

The praise donald trump is showering on Vladimir Putin is a traditional break from American Politics. It is outraging democrats and making republicans uneasy about the plurblurred lines of countr versus party. Hillary clinton says this is the latest sign that donald trump is not fit for the presidency. He is really very much of a leader. Amid ongoing criticism of his praise for Vladimir Putin. Donald trump in an interview on a Television Station funneled by the kremlin, telling larry king, he thinks it is unlikely the russian government is meddling through hacking.

Candidate Hillary Clinton spoke before donors and offered this blunt assessment, not of donald trump himself but of his supporters. Listen. To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump Supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. Right . The racist, sexist, homophobic, islamaphobic, you name it. Unfortunately, there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. In the meantime, donald trump also went off script at a rally in florida. Heres what he said. She could walk into this arena right now and shoot somebody with 20,000 people watching right smack in the middle of the heart and she wouldnt be prosecuted. Cnns Scott Mcclain is joining us from washington. Well start with Hillary Clinton, the reaction youre hearing this morning to the deplorables comment.
